Technical Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for estimating inter-terminal sidelink path loss for control information and data information transmission between terminals. A path loss estimation method of a transmission terminal in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment may include transmitting a signal for path loss estimation to a reception terminal, receiving a path loss estimation result report from the reception terminal in response to the signal for path loss estimation, configuring a transmission power based on the path loss estimation result report, and performing a sidelink transmission with the reception terminal with the configured transmission power.

18 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A power control method of a transmission terminal in a wireless communication system, the power control method comprising: transmitting a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) demodulation reference signal (DMRS) to a reception terminal; receiving a report for a layer 3 reference signal received power (L3-RSRP) from the reception terminal via a PSSCH, the L3-RSRP being measured by the reception terminal based on the PSSCH DMRS; determining a transmission power based on the L3-RSRP; and performing a sidelink transmission based on the determined transmission power.

2

2. The power control method of claim 1, wherein the PSSCH DMRS is transmitted in case that the transmission terminal determines that the transmission of the PSSCH DMRS is necessary.

3

3. The power control method of claim 1, wherein the report from the reception terminal is received periodically.

4

4. The power control method of claim 1, wherein the report from the reception terminal is received in case that an RSRP value measured by the reception terminal is equal to or greater than a threshold value.

5

5. The power control method of claim 1, wherein the report from the reception terminal is received in case that an RSRP value measured by the reception terminal is equal to or less than a threshold value.

6

6. The power control method of claim 1, further comprising: transmitting a configuration for a measurement of the L3-RSRP via PC5 RRC signaling to the reception terminal.

7

7. A power control method of a reception terminal in a wireless communication system, the power control method comprising: receiving a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) demodulation reference signal (DMRS) from a transmission terminal; measuring a layer 3 reference signal received power (L3-RSRP) based on the PSSCH DMRS; and transmitting a report for the L3-RSRP to the transmission terminal via a PSSCH.

8

8. The power control method of claim 7, wherein the report is transmitted to the transmission terminal periodically.

9

9. The power control method of claim 7, further comprising: receiving a configuration for a measurement of the L3-RSRP via PC5 RRC signaling from the transmission terminal.

10

10. A transmission terminal comprising: a transceiver; a memory storing a power control method program; and a processor configured to execute the program stored in the memory and control the transceiver to: transmit a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) demodulation reference signal (DMRS) to a reception terminal, receive a report for a layer 3 reference signal received power (L3-RSRP) from the reception terminal via a PSSCH, the L3-RSRP being measured by the reception terminal based on the PSSCH DMRS, determine a transmission power based on the_L3-RSRP, and perform a sidelink transmission based on the determined transmission power.

11

11. The transmission terminal of claim 10, wherein the PSSCH DMRS is transmitted in case that the transmission terminal determines that the transmission of the PSSCH DMRS is necessary.

12

12. The transmission terminal of claim 10, wherein the report from the reception terminal is received periodically.

13

13. The transmission terminal of claim 10, wherein the report from the reception terminal is received in case that an RSRP value measured by the reception terminal is equal to or greater than a threshold value.

14

14. The transmission terminal of claim 10, wherein the report from the reception terminal is received in case that an RSRP value measured by the reception terminal is equal to or less than a threshold value.

15

15. The transmission terminal of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to: transmit a configuration for a measurement of the L3-RSRP via PC5 RRC signaling to the reception terminal.

16

16. A reception terminal comprising: a transceiver; a memory storing a power control method program; and a processor configured to execute the program stored in the memory and control the transceiver to: receive a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) demodulation reference signal (DMRS) from a transmission terminal, measure a layer 3 reference signal received power (L3-RSRP) based on the PSSCH DMRS, and transmit a report for the L3-RSRP to the transmission terminal via a PSSCH.

17

17. The reception terminal of claim 16, wherein the report is transmitted to the transmission terminal periodically.

18

18. The reception terminal of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to: receive a configuration for a measurement of the L3-RSRP via PC5 RRC signaling from the transmission terminal.
